Winners revealed in Generation Kplus strand of the Berlinale.
India’s The Trap (Ottaal) has won the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the Generation Kplus strand of the Berlin Film Festival (Feb 11-21), as voted by the ‘children’s jury’.
Directed by Jayaraj Rajasekharan Nair, the film received its international premiere in the youth strand of the Berlinale and centres on an eight-year-old dealing with the loss of his parents who dreams of his future.
The jury said of the feature: “This exceptional movie touched us all with its irresistible images of nature, laid-back music and amazingly gifted actors. The unique way of filming certain details blew us away. We think it’s important that such a sad and serious topic be tackled in a movie, though the film also managed to capture the humour and joy of life.”
A special mention went to Miss Impossible (Jamais contente) from French filmmaker Emilie Deleuze.

Berlinale receives record number of submissions.
A total of 63 feature-length and short films produced or co-produced in 35 countries have been invited to participate in the two Berlinale (Feb 11-21) competitions Generation Kplus and Generation 14plus.
The programme, aimed at children and youths, was selected from around 2,000 feature-length and short films submitted to Generation this year, which is more than in any year previously.
The selected films shed light on and challenge the nature of contradictions such as being child-like and being an adult, what is forbidden and what is permitted or the difference between subjective and objective reality.
“Young people world-wide are constantly confronted by dystopic realities not of their own making,” said Maryanne Redpath, head of Generation. “In the diverse films of this year’s programme we see them taking matters into their own hands.”
